Generate

ROUND THREE APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN!

 

You might sign petitions, use organic shampoo or wear little silicone wristbands. But we think you can do more. Generate is a structured program that encourages you to think and act big. We’ll teach you how to lead in your community and give you the tools you need to make more than just small changes in the fight to end global poverty.

We’re calling for those who believe they’ve got what it takes to sign up for our 2012 Generate program. Our aim is for Generate participants to become dedicated and effective agents of change, through exposure and engagement with these central tenets of the program:

  • Development Literacy

Learn about the complexities inherent with global poverty, and how the aid and development sector responds to these issues.

  • The Toolkit

Undertake a structured and experiential learning process where you learn the necessary skills to act for change – having your voice heard, influencing your peers, and gaining support.

  • Self Empowerment

Explore motivations, capabilities and sense of place to become aware of your capacity to create significant positive change.

  • Foundations of Oaktree

Understand Oaktree’s vision and unique approach to leading a movement for change in Australia and beyond, and how you are a part of that process.

  • Community

Engage with a committed and supportive community of like-minded people.

To apply you don’t need specialist skills, just an honest motivation and burning desire to have a positive impact in the world. If you think you’ve got what it takes, we invite you to come on board and make more than just small changes!

The program runs for seven months, from mid-March to mid-October. It is designed to fit around work or study, with downtime in June/July and graduation before end-of-year exams. Participants attend two-hour weekly sessions and commit four hours a week to the program. There will also be a start of the year and mid year camp, where Generators learn more about Oaktree and the program, and learn skills such as project management and team building.

‘All I can tell you is that Generate has been everything I could have imagined and more. I have made wonderful friends, kicked butt raising funds for Live Below The Line. I have been to BBQ’s, stunts and motivating talks. I have smiled, laughed and empathised with my fellow Generators. I have learnt, grown and been inspired. All in three short months,” Rachael Muller (Generator 2011).
